the code is not public, so we can't know. i think it's much more nuanced and certain users' comments might get a preferential treatment, based on factors other than the upvote count - which itself is hidden from us.
- ComplexSystems 8mo ago> the code is not public, so we can't know. I feel like you're making this statement in bad faith, rather than honestly believing the developers of the forum software here have built in a clause to pin simonw's comments to the top.
- satvikpendem 8mo ago> certain users' comments might get a preferential treatment This does not happen. It hasn't even happened when pg made the forum in the first place.
- dcrazy 8mo agoI thought dang explicitly said it does happen? It certainly happens for stories.
